Gwinnett County to open warming stations during cold periods in November

LAWRENCEVILLE, GA—Starting in November, Gwinnett County will open warming stations on nights when temperatures drop to 35 degrees or below. These stations provide temporary, overnight relief for residents exposed to long-term frigid temperatures.

The warming stations will be available from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m., providing a warm place to rest and receive a meal for those in need.

“Gwinnett County’s warming stations are a vital resource for those facing extremely cold nights without shelter. By opening these spaces, we’re offering a safe, warm environment for our residents who need it most,” said Community Services Deputy Director Regina Miller. “This initiative reflects our commitment to caring for our community, ensuring everyone has a place to find comfort during the harsh winter weather.”

Residents can stay updated on the activation status of the warming stations by visiting GwinnettCounty.com/WarmingStations and checking the County’s social media pages.
